Whip It! Whip it real good.
The Chinese theatre!
People I saw up-close and personal at the red carpet premiere of Whip It! last night:
Steven Spielberg
Quentin Tarantino
Drew Barrymore
Justin Long
Krysten Ritter
Serena Williams
Olivia Wilde
Edward Norton
Eve
Cast of Glee
Yeah. Fabulosity. Justin even spoke to me (I yelled "I love you"; he replied "I'm very fond of YOU"). That's right, be jealous.
Before the movie started, Drew gave a cute little speech at the front of the theatre (it's her directorial debut). She was all fidgety and nervous, shy and girly and self-conscious and adorable. I sort of fell in love with her.
The movie itself wasn't spectacular, though. It was charming, cute and breezy (sort of like Drew herself), but got by mainly on Ellen Page's tomboyish charm, and the storyline (especially the romance with Landon Pigg) was a bit convenient and cliche.
Still, the whole experience-- watching star arrivals from the front of the fan pit and reveling in just how unfairly attractive they are in person, watching the film in the Grouman's Chinese Theatre amongst so many celebs and cinematic greats, and stalking/meeting celebs afterward -- was brilliant.
Oh, Hollywood.
